I have searched the news groups and web sight and found very little in
regard to fonts. Could you please clarify a couple of things for me. I use
fontload to load the standard font into the vram. Am I correct in believing
that this is the 7segfont tim file on the boot disk. If it is how do I get
at the other types that are present in the file.
I have opened the tim and it contains italics and capital but I cannot
access these.
Are there some commands that would allow this.

Also I have written a sprite loading routine which I use for my own fonts
and was wondering, would it be possible to replace the font tim with my own
and use the fontprint funct to print my own fonts to the screen.
The 7segfont tim seems to use a mix of 16*16 and 16*8 and 8*8 pixel sprites
for the fonts, is this a special format and if so what are the
specifications.
